Side Plank Hold
A bodyweight movement used in 1 AMRAP workout in the library.
How to do it
Prop yourself on one forearm, stack your feet, and lift your hips until your body forms a straight line.
The coaching cue
"Imagine a steel cable pulling your top hip directly into the ceiling."
What changes inside an AMRAP
Squeeze the bottom glute aggressively to prevent the hips from hinging backward.
Common mistakes
- Letting the hips settle backward so the body is no longer in one plane.
- Stacking the supporting elbow ahead of or behind the shoulder.
